The player is free but doesn't allow you to create new images, only to
run existing ones. The vmware SERVER, however, is now also freely
available
http://www.vmware.com/download/server/
The advantage is that the server product allows the creation of new
images, hence is the one you want if you are going to make a fresh
WinXP install on a linux box. I've used it successfully under Ubuntu
for a while, and I love it.
